OPTICAL MUGwUMPs.

Ciyil-Seryice Commissioner Oberly,
having been asked TO perform in the
political arena, takes the occasion of
making his excuses and regrets In the
form of a semi-moral, scmi-oficial lee
ture on reform in which he states that
no Federal o~ficeholder ought to be an
active member OF political organization.
1t Is all wise and sensible to purify the
official service OF the Government from
all Of the Radical methods Of assessing
the employees for money 10 be used for
political purposes.
The Radicals made the civil service a
grand political machine, and identified
the Government with the party. OF
course the Democratic Administration
was right to institute a complete reform
Of such insolent peryersions OF the SER
vice.
But there seems to be a little afIecta-
ton in all this grandiloquent advertise
ment that exploits the sublimated spirit
of a politician after being subjected to
the misunderstanding process OF the
Pecksninian school of o%ificehOlding
virtue. All the time we hear OF that
pyrotechnic ofice-brOker and edward
politician, Mr.. Eugene Higgins, whose
character and conduct arethe very sharp
est contradiction TO the %pretences In The
advertisement Of the Civil Service Com
mission.
1t is true that the President ought not
to be blamed for Mr.. Higgins or for the
aforesaid Pecksniflian advertising. Per
haps he respects the individual authority
and the privilege of the head men he has
appointed so far as to leave them uli
margin to use their judgment, and to car
~ the responsibility.
The point is whether the triumyirate of
whom Oberley is the head, are to emascu-
late the political character of every man
who holds an office under the Govern
ment.
They call it by a different name In
Turkey, but here We call it Mugwumpi
and we do not believe that it is wise to
make Mugwumps of all the patriots who
have been adjudged worthy as Democrats

Illustrated Papers.

have been frequently asked what /
thought Of the illustrated papers Of the
Old World. My answer Is, that they ap-
pear 10 me to be very much behind ours
in several respects, and notably in organi-
zation. For example, the engravers and
artists in Europe are allowed 10 take their
work home, where they do 1t each in his
own way, aud Of course such a system
necessitates an enormous waste OF time,
and prevents them from performing the
rapid high pressure feats which We ac-
complish in the United States. Although
European illustrated papers do not keep
abreast with the events OF the moment as
ours do, still there is one point OF superb
ority which | am forced 10 accord them,
viz, a more perfect finish and a more ar
tistic treatment, due, Of course, To the
greater leisure OF preparation Mrs.

an interesting point The commission
was reminded that Congress granted
bonds and lands on the assumption that
the stock of the roads should be sold, not
given away, and he suggested that II Is
not too late to see that these shares are

the moneys disbursed for dividends on
these shares for which no money was
ever paid would pay the principal OF the

The Charlottesville C%ronicle, referring

The Charlottesville Chronicle, referring
to the colored statesman Cash, says
However this may be, and we know
nothing about it, this fact is patent to all,
that while the colored vote is as ten TO
one of the white vote in this county, we
note that they never have a representa-
tive of their race in positions Of honor or
profit. We, therefore, bid Cash God
speed in his enterprise, hoping he may
get the vote Of his party to which he is
entitled, while we feel well satisfied that
he nor any other Republican can repre-
sent this good old county in the next
Legislature.N

Mr.. Gladstone has severely criticised
Ingram's statement of the manner in
which the Irish Parliament was broken
up in 1901.
Mr.. Gladstone maintains that this was
done BY corruption, and that the Irish
Parliament had no power to abolish it
self. He has pointed the conclusion to
be drawn from the fact that the records
Of that period pertaining to the subject
have been generally destroyed, and as
serted that mot only corruption, but

Increasing Illiteraoy.


The New Orleans Tines Democrat pub
fishes an official table of the registered
voters Of the state Of Louisiana, which-as
that paper is fully justified In stating
gives a melancholy evidence that the edu-
cational advantages OF the state are not
sufficient for its present needs, and that 1t
is going backward toward illiteracy rather
than forward.
BY the census Of 1850, as quoted by tse
Times Democrat, there were 2lG,1S7 males
Of voting age in Louisiana, of whom
ll3,s05, or 52.4 per cent could write their
names, while 102 032, or 40, made their
marks. The greater portion OF these
ilitCrates were among the colored people,
over so per cent, or four-ilfths, Of that race
being unable to write; but the number OF
white illlterates was 1887, II per cent, or
more than one.seventh OF the total white
voting population.
Since 1880, or in six years, the Times.
D,mOcrdt says: "Thc number Of illiterate
voters has grown from 1O2,032 In 1850 to
1l2,ill in 1856; the number who can write
has actually fallen from 1885 to l05, 1926.
The youth growing upin Louisiana and be-
coming voters are growing up in ignorance
and illiteracy. The schools are not only un-
able to make any impression on the illteracy
in this state, but cannot even keep up with
it; and we are consequently drifting back
ward.n
Here is the relative standing of illiteracy
in Louisiana in 1880 and 1856:

Percentage ofilliterate colofed voters SJ.2 SL3
Percentage ofilliterate voters OF both -
races. s..."..........'..... lhb OIL
On these figures the Tines Democrat
makes these comments;
We could still boast in 1880 that majority
| of the voters of the state were able 10 read and
write, that intelligence was In q majority, but
| we can make this boast no longer. 1llitcracy
is in an absolute majority at the ballo. box
| and more than half the voters who go to the
polls are unable to tell from their tickets fol
whom they are voting. Such Is the melau'
choly picture presented by Mr.. Arroyo's statls-
tics-statistics not to be disputed, for they are
taken from the registration books, where the
voters sign their names.
In the face of such facts the evidence, that
notwithstanding the earnest effOits of the state
and its contribution of all II can afford to the
public schools, that the ratio of illiteracy Is in
crcasing in this as It is in some other southern
states, for some Of them will make the SAINT
melaIc choly showing, that southerners whit
would refuse any aid offered for the schoo
system must indeed love and cherish ig
norance and ilhteracy. We cannot see how
any one of them can decline the opportunit!
offered by the Blair or any other bill TO stol
the tide Of illiteracy and ignorance sweeping
over the south. We have so far done nothing
less than nothing, for the protection OF thl
section from it, We have not even kept th,
tide in Its bounds, but it is constantly sweeDin,
forward.
II the federal government has right t,
exist, it has right to protect its life. Tn

not only iustifes, but demands federal ali

American and Chinese j ustiee.

Recent dates from China confirm the
previous reports that Col. DENLY, our min.
ister to that country, has secured settle
ment OF the claims OF the American mission.
aries for damages sustained by them grow
ing out OF the mobs at Canton and Ching
King, and that there has actually been paid
to the Presbyterian missions 5000 and to
the Methodist missions $4,000. This is In
addition TO the considerable amount paid
as indemnity to other American residents Of
Canton. In making these payments the
yiceroy of Canton has called the attention
of the American representative to the far
greater wrongs suffered by his countrymen
in the United States, and TO the tardi-
ness OF our government in providing
indemnity owing TO the failure Of Con
gress TO make the appropriation asked
for by Secretary Bayard In the Rock Springs
case. And he suggests that the American
minister telegraph to Washington to urge
speedy action for the relief OF the Chinese
sufferers by that massacre.
We understand that the House OF Repre-.
sentatives has set apart tomorrow for the
consideration of the measures TO be pre-
sented by the committee of foreign affairs,
and we earnestly hope, for the honor Of
our country, that the Rock Springs indeln-
Iity bill, passed by the Senate at the last
session, will be called up and acted upon
without further delay. With our boaste
